Shane Byrne heads for Scotland and round four of the 2014 MCE British Superbike Championship in confident mood this weekend.

Triple MCE BSB champion Byrne leads the standings by a comfortable 45 points following five wins and a second place in the opening six races and importantly, has racked up an impressive 28 Podium Credits which will become significant when the end of season Showdown to decide the MCE British champion commences.

The 37-year-old from the Isle of Sheppey won both races at Knockhill last year to take his winning tally to seven at the hillside circuit just north of Dunfermline and following his double at Snetterton a couple of weeks ago, he increased his total of MCE BSB wins to a record breaking 56.

Having pulled out a significant lead at this stage of the season, Byrne is hoping to pick up more race wins this weekend:

“It’s very early days in the season and there’s a long way to go so the plan at Knockhill is to just keep doing what we’re doing.”

“I have a really good feeling with the Rapid Solicitors Kawasaki right now and last year we had two good wins at Knockhill so the aim is obviously to do the same again.”

“But I know that’s not going to be easy and I’m expecting a lot more pressure as it’s a tight and twisty track but the aim is two more wins.”
